PURPORT
In almost all the cities and towns of India there are temples of Hanumanji, the eternal servant of Lord Ramacandra.
There is even a temple of Hanuman near Govindaji temple in Vrndavana.
Formerly this temple was in front of the Gopalaji temple, but that Deity Gopalaji went to Orissa to remain as Saksi-gopala.
Being the eternal servant of Lord Ramacandra, Hanumanji has been respectfully worshiped for many hundreds and thousands of years.
Here even Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu set the example in showing how one should offer respects to Hanumanji.
